A lot also depends on the trucks engine and driveline, for instance V8 engine and a rearend gear ratio of 4:10 is going to tow about any size fishing boat for fresh water. Compared to a V6 engine and a rearend ratio of 3:07 say in a 1/2 ton or smaller equipped truck. Get your boat and fill it with the amount of gas you usually run it with and all of the gear that you have when you go fishing, then find a truckstop with a scale to weigh your boat. Unhitch from the truck and set on scale and get a true weight of your boat, so there wont be any guess work on how much your really weighs. I know Ive done this to my boat and you will surprised how much it weighs. Then you will for sure what you got and take that info with you when you go truck comparing.
